bundle: emit full snapshot as is, without doing a redelta

With the new `forced` delta-reused policy, it become important to be able to
send full snapshot where full snapshot are needed. Otherwise, the fallback delta
will simply be used on the client side… creating monstrous delta chain, since
revision that are meant as a reset of delta-chain chain becoming too complex are
simply adding a new full delta-tree on the leaf of another one.

In the `non-forced` cases, client process full snapshot from the bundle
differently from deltas, so client will still try to convert the full snapshot
into a delta if possible. So this will no lead to pathological storage
explosion.

I have considered making this configurable, but the impact seems limited enough
that it does not seems to be worth it. Especially with the current
sparse-revlog format that use "delta-tree" with multiple level snapshots, full
snapshot are much less frequent and not that different from other intermediate
snapshot that we are already sending over the wire anyway.

CPU wise, this will help the bundling side a little as it will not need to
reconstruct revisions and compute deltas. The unbundling side might save a tiny
amount of CPU as it won't need to reconstruct the delta-base to reconstruct the
revision full text. This only slightly visible in some of the benchmarks. And
have no real impact on most of them.

Space wise (so network-wise) the impact is fairly small. When taking compression into
account.

Below are tests the size of `hg bundle --all` for a handful of benchmark repositories
(with bzip, zstd compression and without it)

This show a small increase in the bundle size, but nothing really significant
except maybe for mozilla-try (+12%) that nobody really pulls large chunk of anyway.
Mozilla-try is also the repository that benefit the most for not having to
recompute deltas client size.
